Recipe: Delicious Creamy Coleslaw

We’ve been having a lot of pulled pork sandwiches around here lately. My dad had a smoker, and when he passed away we got it. We’ve been smoking chicken and pork and ribs and it’s been amazing. Smoked pork turns into amazingly delicious pulled pork sandwiches.However, a pulled pork sandwich just isn’t as good without coleslaw! I have a recipe I usually always make, but this last time Gary requested a creamier coleslaw, “…like KFC coleslaw”. So I googled KFC Coleslaw and found a yummy recipe! This one called for buttermilk, but we didn’t have any. I checked to see if I could use heavy cream instead (we had that) but nope, that wouldn’t do. Then I learned that I could make my own buttermilk. It’s made with milk and either vinegar or lemon juice, (both of which are in this recipe), so I decided to use the recipe but omit the buttermilk and see how it turned out. It was so good, and will now replace the old recipe I used to use.Here is the recipe, with the few tiny changes I made to fit what we had and wanted.
